Requests and Complaining during prayer, and what an answer!

MY PRAYER . . .

. . . has always been "Dear GOD, Teach Me Truth! I want to know Truth." What is Truth? What is Your Truth? dear GOD, Teach me truth.

How can THAT be Truth? It is so contrary to what I have been taught, what I believe.

Are my beliefs contrary to your Truth? My faith is strong. How can it be in error? The Preacher has taught me always and he teaches truth, doesn't he?

What do you mean - not your Truth? Does that . . . mean . . . hell??

Whew! Of course, that is the best he knows. But shouldn't he be searching for more?

But if he only knows such a little bit of Truth, won't he be in a great deal of trouble . . .

Where can he . . . uh, I mean . . . uh . . . Me . . . uh, where can I find what it is you want me to learn?

But . . .

It is hard to realize you know my questions and responses before I can form them in my mind. Is it possible . . .

I am sorry for being abrupt and judging him harshly. It is not my place to do so, Thanks for understanding my human failings. I ask for help in being more understanding.

Thank you - YOU are always so wonderfully understanding

I believe I have learned what the Preacher had to teach. Where is there more to learn?

But it is so hard to go there. Those people are so different.

The difference is truth? how can that be?

Only a part of the total Truth - that is easier to accept.

I understand, but where is Total Truth?

But why can't I know it? . . . I want to know it all! I'm as smart as the next person - why can't I learn?

Too much? Impossible! I can understand if You will but give it to me.

Sorry, that was not my place to make that kind of demand, but I really do want to know.

Yes, You are far greater than me. Can't my understanding be expanded enough . . .

All right, I can accept what you give, but You know I want more.

I will visit those people. I will learn. And then . . . ?

Why more people? Can't I get Your Truth in one easy step?

Too big, huh?

Will I ever be big enough to know . . .

Being with You will be wonderful. I will keep learning and hope I can be content to wait until then.

I will learn what I can now and know the rest then, that is correct?

I thank you so much. This has made my complaining so meaningless. Thank you for understanding.
